Ground of Saints

One of my all time favourite blogger Mezba is visiting his home country Bangladesh. He posted this story from a small place called Rongpur.

"...This was the strangest thing. The white dome like thing is the mimbar of the local Eid-gah. Right next to it is a small shelf full of little cubicles. In each of those slots is a bottle of water, with the cap left open. I am told when someone is ill or there is some misfortune in a family, the head of the family will take a bottle of water, read some prayers, then leave it here in the Eid-gah for the night. The place has a graveyard where lots of saints are buried. The villagers believe the spirits of those saints come and 'bless' the water in the middle of the night. In the morning the villagers come and get their respective bottles and drink the water. The problem is then supposedly 'resolved'..."

Kaun jaane, kisi achhe maseeha ki ruh aaj bhi us maidan main bhatkti ho aur ho sakta hai itne insaanon ki "cumulative postive energy" hi bimar ko shifa de deti ho !

Aur ye bhi ho sakta hai ke ye sub jhoot hi ho magar raat bhar maidan main paani rakhne se agar kisi bimar ko bewajah qarar aa jaata hai to kiya bura hai. Bechara insaan bara majboor aur masoom hai. Aur ye ke insaan bara darpok hai. Apni fana aur maut se darta hai. Jub bhanwar main dub raha hota hai to tinke ko bhi sahara jaanta hai !

Magar achha lugta hai. Ye raunaq lagi rahe to achha hai !
